About
M. Tsujimura is a leading scholar in the sociotechnical study of care robotics, with a particular focus on cross-cultural perceptions and media representations of assistive technologies. Their most-cited work, "Hopes and fears regarding care robots: Content analysis of newspapers in East Asia and Western Europe, 2001–2020" (2022, 6 citations), provides a groundbreaking comparative analysis of how different societies frame the promise and peril of robotic caregivers. By systematically examining thousands of newspaper articles across two decades, Tsujimura revealed striking cultural divergences: East Asian media emphasized technological optimism and demographic necessity, while Western European outlets foregrounded ethical anxieties and labor displacement. This work has become essential reading for policymakers and engineers navigating the global deployment of care robots. Tsujimura’s research bridges science and technology studies, gerontology, and media analysis, offering nuanced insights into how cultural values shape technological adoption. Their contributions are particularly vital as aging populations worldwide confront the integration of robots into intimate care settings.
